India's politics is a web carved by thieves, its just a question of who is worse! In the present scenario, one should be pardoned for considering the Samajwadi Party as the lesser of the two biggest thieves in the Indian polity - the Communists and Samajwadi! And what is more, the two were really thick as, you said it, thieves, till yesterday! Ha! But dont let their estrangement fool you, because it is temporary, like a lovers' tiff, they'll be back together if they find the BJP in with a chance to form the next Government. Till then, they will be at each other's throats and will sing paens to their own commitment to 'national' interest. And of course, since in their eyes, they are the nation, why should anyone worry if their interest coincides with China's, resulting in sale of India's Northeast to the Chinks, or in reframing the spectrum imbroglio to benefit you know who - ADAG, of course, or impose "windfall" taxes on oil companies, read, Mukesh Ambani's RIL, all this will be in "national" interest, wont it? Do you get me, Steve??
